| Abstract | Recent research has been done in regards to optically imaging using metamaterials. One such project is the hyperlens, which aims to overcome the classical diffraction limit and project a magnified image into the far field. The potential applications for this device range from nanolithography to bioimaging.
The Hyperlens Design Solver tool is intended to be used in conjunction with the Hyperlens Layer Designer tool to aid in the design and simulation of a hyperlens. The Hyperlens Design Solver tool allows users to upload designs created with the Hyperlens Layer Designer tool, make a new design, or select from several pre-existing designs. The tool then simulates the performance of the design and outputs several plots of the resulting field intensities. By using these two tools, users can experiment with different designs and evaluate performance to find the optimal design before beginning fabrication.
